In a peaceful setting in the Chinese garden within the Hamilton Gardens, this gazebo is a nice quiet spot to sit and enjoy the Chinese Scholars Garden which is generally but not exactly a traditional Chinese garden from the Sung Dynasty, 10th - 12th Century. (Sung gardens were not totally dominated by rocks, like the later Ming and Qing dynasties).
In ancient China, mandarins, scholars and the landed gentry formed a distinct social class. It was this class that created and maintained the distinctive form of the traditional scholar's garden.
The Chinese Scholar's Garden was the first of the Paradise Garden Collection in Hamilton Gardens, with most of this garden being developed between 1988 and 1999.
